I'm tidying up my CentOS stuff in preparation for it's death :cry: How do I leave the board? I've been hunting around the User Control Panel and can't see the way out. Thanks, and goodbye.

Re: Upgrade to CentOS 8.5 breaks dbus-broker from EPEL

This has been discussed at length in both the Alma newsgroup and Alma chat. One solution, which has enabled me to upgrade with KDE, is to enable the epel-next repository with an enhanced cost. Once the initial upgrade has been sorted out, ensure that you turn the repo off. [epel-next] name=Extra Pac...

Re: Providing further privileges with sudoers

That last line opens things up way too far. You say I'd like to edit files owned by root without having to include sudo to call vi or any other editor so why modify /etc/sudoers ?

Just from my own personal experience and nothing else, there is a good community support group for AlmaLinux, which is where I've gone.

Upgrading to *8

I'm well aware of the past position that a major upgrade has to be a reinstall, but have you folks seen https://almalinux.org/elevate ? It claims: Currently ELevate provides Leapp data for migration from CentOS 7 to the following OS: AlmaLinux OS 8 CentOS Stream 8 Oracle Linux 8 Rocky Linux 8 I've n...

Re: Update to V8: dracut-network dependencies

Re: Top CPU consumers
